Celebrations for graduates are in full force during this time of year from high school, college, and graduate levels. Congratulations to everyone who have accomplished this goal.
Another generation will be born and yes will be labeled one of these terms below: Here are the birth years for each generation: iGen, Gen Z or Centennials: Born 1996 and later. Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1977 to 1995. Generation X: Born 1965 to 1976. Baby Boomers: Born 1946 to 1964. Traditionalists or Silent Generation: Born 1945 and before.
The ‘silent generation’ from 1925 to 1945 worked their jobs quietly, did what they were told, etc. This is where the term “children ought to be seen and not heard”. I never agreed with this statement because children growing up will be the next generation to lead future generations. God gave each child a voice to speak (but He also gave us two ears to listen!).
I try remind myself often how can I make this younger generation better? What kind of mentor can I be not only to my children, but also to those who have dreams to change their world.
Our world may seem raw and negative with many full of opinions if you listen to the media, but I believe there are ‘diamonds in the rough’ inventors, innovators, entrepreneurs, leaders, teachers, coaches, ministry, mentors with integrity etc. On the rise to change their world and make it a better place. Change for the best and not the worst. Change for the good and not the bad. Change to make a difference and not to be indifferent. Become a game changer today and get involved to make a difference in someone’s life today!
“For you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should show forth the praises of Him (God). Who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” 2 Peter 2:9
Have a great day and week my friend and remember to thank a young person this week, because their lives matter and God has a plan for you as well.
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Greetings! My name is Andy Provitola and I live in New England on the South Shore between Boston and the beautiful Cape Cod region.
The purpose of my blogging and writing is to encourage you in your journey here on planet earth. Life is full of pressing issues and problems and my desire is to discover a place for peace, hope, healing, and contentment. I am a follower of Jesus Christ – God’s one and only Son and I discovered these truths along my own personal journey.
Having discovered a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ does not mean I have to be religious to attain the rewards of heaven. The fact is God provides grace for us and accepts us as we are in His image. In other words, we cannot attain heaven or life eternal on our own, but by God’s loving grace and no merit of our own. Simply by accepting Him by faith and believing.
My goal is to continue to find a balance of life from a spiritual and practical perspective with a purpose to please and glorify God in all that I do because of His ‘Gift of Grace’.
God is not transcendent and so far away that he is out of reach with humanity. God desires that His presence lives within us and not just in the galaxies and the universe. Experiencing the unconditional love of God has been so rewarding and while discovering the truth and purpose for my life. Moving forward in this life is not a sprint, but a marathon when it comes to this race here on earth.
I am blogging because I find it is a good way to connect in a much more effective and efficient way when it comes to communicating and interacting with people that I know or do not know. Blogging and writing challenges me and also stretches me specifically in my thoughts, my mind, my emotions, and my spiritual life. To live a vertical relation with God and a horizontal relationship with others.
There will be a variety of topics and subjects to address including youth, young adults, family, singles, seniors, relationships, etc. Some of the topics will include God’s creation and power, depression, loneliness, suicide, hope, healing, setbacks, financial matters, business, stress, anxiety, care, encouragement, and so much more.
I would like to connect with all walks of life, ethnicity, culturally, other religions, socio-economics, and in so many more ways.
I am currently writing a book and several memoirs about my own life and journey . The journey begins at a young age growing up in Malden, Massachusetts, specifically Maplewood Square to where I am today. I became paralyzed from the waist down as a senior in high school and I share how my life changed for the better!
“But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus. To testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious undeserved] grace [which makes us free of guilt of sin and grants us eternal life]. Acts 20:24 Amplified Version
